Twenty crossbred (HF x Kankrej) calves were allotted randomly to five groups (each had one male and three female calves) almost with similar body weight (85.70±6.37 kg) and age (167.55±21.70 days). Experimental calves of the control group were offered hybrid napier untreated, and the other four groups were offered hybrid napier treated with (i) fungus- Aspergillus spp. (1×107 per g feed), (ii) fibrolytic bacteria- Escherichia spp. (106 CFU per g feed), (iii) xylanase (50 mL/kg having xylanase 1.2 IU/mL), and (iv) consortium of 1/3rd dose of fungus + bacteria + enzyme as treatments for 140 days. The blood samples were collected from each calf at a biweekly intervals in the EDTA vacuttee. Nutrients offered to crossbred calves were sufficient to satisfy the nutrients requirements. Bacteria fed calves had significantly higher (plessthan0.05) mean hemoglobin levels than control. Blood plasma glucose of calves in fibrolytic microbes and enzyme groups was statistically similar to control. Feeding of fungus, bacteria, enzyme, and consortium was without a significant effect on plasma total proteins.In comparison to control (7.53 mg/dL), the plasma phosphorus was significantly (plessthan0 0.05) higher in calves fed enzyme (7.87 ± 0.20 mg/dl) and lower in group fed fungus (7.13 mg/dL). In contrast, in bacteria (7.57 mg/dL) and consortium group (7.60 mg/dL) it was statistically similar to control. Plasma glutamic pyruvic transaminase concentration of crossbred calves was lower ( pless than 0.05) in enzyme and higher (p lessthan 0.05) in fungus, bacteria, and consortium groups than in control, while plasma glutamic oxaloacetate transaminase concentration in all groups was statistically similar. In conclusion, all blood parameters of different groups were within normal range and without adverse effect on the overall performance of calves.

Blood samples of One hundred and twenty patients from different hospitals in Baghdad infected with hydatidosis in different sites of the body (Liver, Lung, multiorgans and kidney) were collected for this study. On the other hand, 30 healthy individuals were included as a control group. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of this disease on the serum protein profile of the patients using electrophoresis. The results revealed four different protein banding patterns with difference in number of bands and their molecular weights in comparison to the control group, and these differences depended on the site of infection. However the data showed a presence of the same band in all patients with different site of infection.

Abstract Ovulation prompted by exogenous GnRH may cause the release of sub-mature oocytes and lead to decreased pregnancy rates. Inclusion of estradiol benzoate (EB) has improved pregnancy rates. The objective was to determine if EB affects blood perfusion of follicles, CL, or uterus, concentrations of estradiol, or incidence of standing estrus. Forty-seven suckled beef cows were synchronized (GnRH+CIDR on d -9, PGF2a+CIDR removal on d -2, expected estrus=d 0). On d -1, 24 of 47 cows received an injection of EB (1mg/2mL) while the other 23 remained as a control group. Ovaries were evaluated via Doppler ultrasonography on d -1, 0, 6, 14, and 21. A laser Doppler probe was used to measure blood perfusion of the uterus on d -1, 0, and 6. Only cows that exhibited estrus (n = 29) were evaluated on d 14 and 21. Images were analyzed via ImageJ software to determine mean area of perfusion. Blood samples were collected on d -1 and 0 and analyzed for concentrations of estradiol using RIA. Using SAS, MIXED and FREQ were used to determine the influence of treatment on blood perfusion and estradiol, and incidence of standing estrus, respectively. Treatment with EB increased (P &lt; 0.001) the number of cows exhibiting standing estrus compared to control (21/24 vs 8/23, respectively). Treatment of EB did not (P &gt; 0.10) alter blood perfusion of the follicles or uterus on any day or perfusion of the CL on d 6. However, EB increased (P &lt; 0.036) the size of the CL on d 14 (25.06±1.7 vs 6.06±3.7) and tended (P &lt; 0.097) to increase the size of the CL on d 21. Treatment of EB increased (P &lt; 0.003) concentrations of estradiol on d 0 compared to control (21.35±4.49 vs 9.44±4.61 pg/mL). In conclusion, treatment with EB may play a role in changing the CL after ovulation.

Background. Bariatric surgery (BS) in older obese subjects (>60 years of age) has risen in the past decade and will continue to rise in the coming years due to ageing of the population. Aim. To evaluate the short- (12 months) and long-term (60 months) results of laparoscopic sleeve gastroscopy (LSG) in patients older than age 60. Methods. We performed a retrospective review of patients prospectively included in a database from January 2007 to December 2013. All patients >60 [older group (OG)] who had undergone LSG were included. The control group (CG) included patients aged 50 to 59 years who had undergone LSG during the same period. Results. 116 (8.4 % of total surgery) and 145 patients were included in the OG and CG, respectively. BS in patients >60 years increased from 2.4% in 2003 to 14% in the last 2 years of the study. After inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) analysis, all absolute standardized differences were <0.15. A 60-month follow-up was attained in 90% of patients in the OG and 74% in the CG. There were no significant differences in postoperative complications between the two groups. At 12 and 60 months after LSG, both groups achieved a similar body mass index. There was no statistical difference in the percentage of resolution of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and SAHS between the two groups. In both groups, all the nutritional parameters evaluated remained within the normal range throughout the study. Conclusions. LSG provides acceptable outcomes and is safe in older adults indicating that age should not be a limitation to perform BS in this population.

The Importance of Holotranscobalamin MeasurementClinically significant vitamin B12deficiency can occur even with total vitamin B12levels apparently within normal range. There is an indeterminate zone between approximately 154 and 300 pmol/L of vitamin B12where there is likely misclassification of B12status if relying on total serum B12. The aim of the present study was to assess the usefulness of holotranscobalamin in diagnosis of B12deficiency. Blood samples were collected and subjected to assays for vitamin B12and holotranscobalamin. We examined the levels of holotranscobalamin in 32 subjects (n=32, f=18, m=14) with vitamin B12values within interval 154-300 pmol/L. These subjects were compared with control group with vitamin B12>300 pmol/L (n=31, f=17, m=14). 25% of subjects with vitamin B12of 154 to 300 pmol/L had low levels of holotranscobalamin. Holotranscobalamin levels of patients with vitamin B12of 154 to 300 pmol/L were significantly lower than those of control subjects (38.55 ± 23.0 vs. 61.35 ± 31.81 pmol/L, p<0.01). The obtained results also show a positive significant relationship between levels of holotranscobalamin and vitamin B12(r=0.53, p<0.01). In conclusion, holotranscobalamin is a better indicator of early vitamin B12deficiency than total serum cobalamins and it is a useful tool in the diagnosis of vitamin B12deficiency.

Pearl millet, which is comparable to maize in terms of its metabolizable energy content is an identified potential replacement for maize in broiler diets. However, as the competition and price of maize continues to spike, the continuous need to completely replace maize in broiler diets is imperative. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of feeding diets containing pearl millet supplemented with enzyme NatuzymeTM on the carcass characteristics and haematological values of broiler chickens. 150 two weeks-old broilers were randomly divided into 5 groups with 10 birds per pen translating into 10 birds per replicate and fed an isonitrogenous (23%CP) starter diet of control diet (A); 0% (B); 10% (C); 20% (D); 30.01% and (E) 37.41 % pearl millet. Similarly, an isonitrogenous (21%CP) finisher diet of control diet (A); 0% (B); 10.64% pearl millet (C); 21.28% (D); 31.92% and (E) 39.27 % of pearl millet for 6 weeks. The birds were randomly allotted to the diets in a completely randomized design with feed and water given ad libitum. With the exception of drumstick of birds fed diet D which was significantly lower than the other diets, the results showed that the carcass values (parameters) of broilers fed 100% pearl millet were similar or non-superior to the control group and the other diets. Similarly, blood parameters were not significantly different between groups. These results show that pearl millet supplemented with enzyme can replace maize in broiler diets without affecting carcass yields and haematological parameters.

, , , , and Antibiotics as growth promoters in poultry diets are currently restricted, so other feed additives, such as prebiotics and probiotics, have been suggested as an antibiotics alternative to improve the performance and gut health of poultry. The current experiment was conducted to study the effects of adding Mannan oligosaccharides (MOS) as a potential replacement for an antibiotic on productive performance, nutrient digestibility, some blood parameters, and caecal microbiota of broiler chickens. For conducting the current research experiment, a total of 180 one–day old Ross broiler chicks were randomly divided into one control group fed a basal diet and four dietary treatments with six replicates for each treatment. The treatment groups were fed a basal diet supplemented with different levels of MOS 0.5, 1, and 2 g/Kg diet and Lincomycin 4.4 mg/Kg diet during 35 days of the feeding trial. With exception of the growing period, the group fed a basal diet supplemented with 2 g MOS/Kg feed had considerably higher body weight and weight gain, while having the lowest feed consumption and best feed conversion ratio compared to the other treatment groups, during all experimental periods. Moreover, dietary supplementation of MOS resulted in a significant decrease in the counts of caecal E. coli and Enterococcus, while Lactobacillus and Yeast bacteria counts were significantly higher, compared to non-supplemented groups. Broiler chicks having a 2 g MOS/kg diet recorded lower values of cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), urea, and liver enzymes, including Aspartate transaminase (AST) and Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), while they recorded significantly higher high-density lipoprotein (HDL), compared to the other experimental groups. Group treated with MOS 2 g/Kg feed improved digestibility of crude protein, ether extract, crude fiber, nitrogen-free extract, and organic matter, compared to the control group, Additionally, MOS supplementation also increased the intestinal villi length, width, and crypt depth and decreased intestinal inflammation, compared to the control group. In conclusion, supplementation of MOS at 2 g/kg diet improved growth performance, digestibility, and blood parameters without having adverse effects on the intestine of broiler chickens, comparable to the Lincomycin.
